3 ETIMEX: DEVELOPMENT PARTNER TO THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY LIGHTER PRECISE AND EFFICIENT With our co-development capabilities and our precision products we help leading manufacturers every day to enhance their position in the market. Here are just three examples: > the steering column sealing with plastic bearing compensates body tolerances and reduces road noise in the cabin: millions produced by ETIMEX > specifically shaped cooling ducts essential in the complex cooling circuit of Li-Ion batteries and performance electronics in electric vehicles: a contribution to the future from ETIMEX > the high-strength, ultra-light roof frame made from carbon fiber a model-dependent precision part up to three meters in length: developed and manufactured in the blow molding process by ETIMEX We think ahead and allow our automotive customers to develop new products by combining different processes such as blow molding, elastomer and injection molding. In doing so we cover various applications and live up to the highest expectations including the complete development phase from a concept to the final product. Our production equipment is capable of producing various kinds of parts with special sizes. What are your requirements? We would be pleased to develop products with you that are tailored precisely to your individual needs.

4 ETIMEX: PLASTIC COMPETENCE IN HOME APPLIANCES AND MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY. 6 7 PROVEN ABILITY SPECIAL SYSTEMS Our products assist with the flow of air and water in home appliances through customized assemblies, channels, ducts and systems. These are part of ETIMEX s core competencies. We develop solutions together with our customers and produce high performance parts in production using mainly our blow molding and injection molding technology. Our ideas can lead to more efficient products that help to a consumers decision to purchase the end product. E.g. our easyto-use containers, filled with detergent and packed at ETIMEX in a single operation, dedicated for premium washing machines. ETIMEX develops your products to the end-users requirements and sparks ideas to be successful in tight markets. BY ETIMEX: > Water management and drying systems for dishwashers > Water tanks > Water inlets > Heat exchangers and condensers made of plastic > Water management systems for washing machines > Air ducts for washer-dryers > Condensate tanks for laundry dryers > Detergent-filled tanks for washing machines > Gasoline and oil tanks for garden appliances > Air, water lines and empty pipes for sanitary areas We have special equipment available for special requirements. In our ISO Class 9 clean room, we protect sensitive products against possible contamination. Physically separated from other areas, the 70 square meter room enables the efficient manufacturing and packaging of high-precision, 2-component injection molded parts using a 350 ton 2K injection molding machine and a 6-axis robot outside the clean room cell. The plastic parts, which are initially sterile due to the high processing temperature, are transferred to the clean room completely automatically by robot, where they are packed under controlled conditions. ETIMEX paves the way to the future with you, investing in know-how and procedures. BY ETIMEX: > Container for wound treatment > Connecting pipe

5 ETIMEX: FOR TECHNICAL PROGRESS AND GREATER EFFICIENCY ACTIVE IN CO-DEVELOPMENT PROACTIVE IN-HOUSE DEVELOPMENT ETIMEX cooperates with customers to develop technical plastic parts and assemblies for the automotive, home appliance, medical equipment and sanitary sectors. Our engineers and technicians work with: > 3D-CAD systems > Flow simulation > FEM programs and the > ETIMEX laboratory The manufacturing of prototypes and thorough testing procedures give us reliable results for functionality and long term usage. Projects are systematically realized through APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) pursuant to ISO/TS ETIMEX invests in the optimization of existing assemblies and the development of new systems. Through the project phase we pursue clear development targets such as reduction of the necessary space, energy saving, integration of functions and elimination of parts. This is to reduce costs without compromising fit and function. A good example of this is the expandable, modular valve assembly: Various basic bodies equipped with high-performance valves offer a large number of hydraulic switching and control functions. A specially developed flow meter completes the assembly, turning it into an individual, flexible system. DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS > Flow meter > Modular valve assembly > Heat exchanger made of plastic > Fabric-reinforced molded pressure hose > Water softener

6 ETIMEX: FOR INNOVATIVE METHODS AND GUARANTEED QUALITY PROCESS COMPETENCE AND CLEVER INNOVATIONS RESPONSIBILITY ACROSS ALL PROCESSES With customer requirements, design, quantities and efficiency perfectly in mind: We select the most effective and functionally optimal production process blow molding, injection molding or a combination of the two. And are constantly developing them further. ETIMEX PATENT EXAMPLE 1: Combining blow molding and injection molding for the fluid-impermeable connection of two pipes. Effect: Avoids the much more expensive manufacture of the overall component by injection molding alone (tool/ system size) or by blow molding alone (lot of waste). ETIMEX PATENT EXAMPLE 2: Suction blow method on a double station, which enables switching between two or more stations, each with a blow mold or blow tool. Effect: Saving of energy, cycle time and costs. ETIMEX PATENT EXAMPLE 3: Modular block valve: a modular valve assembly for controlling the water inlet. It ensures flexible utilization in various installation spaces. The water diverter can be complemented with the ETIMEX flow meter, a flow regulator, valve and filter. ETIMEX PATENT EXAMPLE 4: A special snap geometry has been developed specifically for spray arms. The goal here is the low-cost manufacturing of an aesthetic component with high requirements for stiffness and impermeability. Can also be used in similar components. Quality management and quality assurance go hand in hand: The ETIMEX quality management system is monitored and audited by independent certification authorities. Current certification status as of 2017: ISO/TS 16949:2009 (Automotive Quality) ISO 9001:2008 (Quality) ISO 14001:2004 (Environment) BS OHSAS 18001:2007 (Safety) DIN EN ISO 50001:2011 (Energy Management). Comprehensive quality checks from worker selfchecks to the continuous inline checking of processes ensure our high standards day in day out. Numerous inspections by means of dimensional checks, analytical procedures and component tests guarantee adherence to product quality. We perform analytical checks such as the material s melt flow index during the incoming goods inspection. Independently certified firms regularly check and certify the measuring equipment. Numerous customer audits confirm our high standard.

7 ETIMEX: FOR ENERGY SAVING AND SUSTAINBLE OPERATIONS. SPECIFIC ENERGY CONSUMPTION in kwh/kg 3.00 Energy in kwh/kg Plan Exponential (energy in kwh/kg) THE ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY POLICY HAVE TOP PRIORITY AT ETIMEX. EFFICIENCY AND SUSTAINABILITY ARE INTER- DEPENDENT. We strive to achieve a constant improvement in energy performance with the least impact on the environment. This is part of our responsibility toward our workforce and customers, society and the environment.
